Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Malmo Half Marathon demands sustained aerobic endurance over a flat 21.1 km course designed for high pacing efficiency.
Aerobic Sustained Pace

Minimal Elevation Resilience
With only 19 meters of elevation gain, the course eliminates major climbing stressors and places the primary physiological load on continuous running mechanics.
